I need something with better gas mileage than my van. I'd like a small to mid-size car. doesn't matter if it has 2 or 4 doors. In discussions with the hubby we are miles apart on our preferences. He wants another sports car (he really wants a firehawk) I like our Grand AM but it's his car.

I did more surfin' and found that the Ford Focus offered to give me an internet price. NOT. They offer to call me within 48 hours with a price. I emailed them back today & said just give me an idea of what I'm looking at & I'll call you. I doubt they will answer me. LOL

I am starting to look for a new(er) vehicle. My trusty van is getting old, tired & expensive. I also feel i no longer need to drive a van- i have only one child at home and we have no plans for more. LOL

I looked at a MINI Cooper...new is $24,000 used is about $15,000. A little more than I really want to spend. Now I need to decide on my other options. My other fantasy car is the Chrysler 300 but that runs about the same in price.

I'm not looking for high-end (obviously) but I'm not interested in a POS either.

I found out he is not gay...just married. Bummer. He is originally from New Jersey (which I care for less than New York) but I can over look that.

The Travel channelrecently ran a contest to win a trip with Mr. Bourdain. I contemplated entering but my videography skills are not great and I don't think i can say "I'm in love with you" on national TV. ROFL

I love my husband. I really do. Sometimes I have to try to remember that. I know he feels the same. It is days like today where we are trying to figure something out and just can't get on the same page that tests it that much more.

Today- money is our issue.

Not lack of but what to do with: which bills to pay first? pay off or just pay down? How much to start saving for a rainy day? How much needs to be set aside for Property taxes and such?

To make it worse for me he decided to start this conversation in the middle of a show I have waited a week to watch.

*UGH*

I know I am in love with Anthony Bourdain. He is just the sexiest man on the Travel channel. I love to listen to him talk, see him make an ass of himself and even watch him smoke. I'm baffled since I don't care for smokers or New York. LOL He is just sexy.

So now I have missed the majority of my show and we still can't figure out what our financial goal is!

OK, I had help from the Hubby, Son#2, Bossman Mike, Jason H, and 4 airmen I recruited with the help of the Hubby. It took 3 1/2 hours, 5 truck loads, 2 van loads & 2 suburban loads to empty the main office area and conference room of 14 years worth of stuff. I arranged with the landlord to leave 2 large metal desks and a file cabinet.

Now, I have a spiffy new computer to set up Monday! Then I have to find all my files and sort the storage mess but the best part is I have a room that I can depend on a constant temperature, working lights and working phone! I even have a fax machine!
